Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Arctic root or golden root) is a member of the family Crassulaceae, a family of plants native to the arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed  in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It grows at altitudes of 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level.

There are numerous animal and test tube studies showing that rhodiola has both a stimulating and a sedating effect on the central nervous system; enhance physical endurance; improves thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function; protects the nervous system, heart and liver; and has antioxidant and anticancer properties.

It was thought by western scientists until fairly recently that Ginko biloba tree was extinct. Only fossils had been found here in North America. In the early part of this century it was introduced to western horticulture from China. It is a primitive conifer. An extract from the leaves or seeds is used medicinally for memory improvement and a wide variety of other ailments. Though my Dalmatian, who ate my first tree, seems to have gained nothing in the process. He still doesn’t do what I tell him. The Ginkgo biloba leaves are collected as they turn yellow. The leaves are dried and pressed into bales. The desirable flavinoids are chemically extracted and concentrated into pill form. The medicinal effects are primarily cause by increased circulation. More oxygen to the brain, better thinking, or so goes the logic. There are studies linking a potential problem between consumers of aspirin or other blood thinners and Ginkgo biloba. Their blood thinning properties may be additive, use caution. The seeds are separated from their gelatinous outer skin and eaten.
